Race Recap 2021 FLE # 6 - 30 /60 mile - Markham Masher

    The 2021 FLE #6 - 30/60 - Markham Masher, as the state racing season moves closer to the midway point, the racing venue moved to Seminole Wekiva Trail in Lake Mary, FL. The course consisted of 8 miles of flowing single track located in pine scrub and oak hammock of the Wekiva Springs State Park. The sun was out, the humidity was low and temperatures and trails were perfect for this annual South Florida stop on the FSC circuit. The race course was fast and flowy but also demanding because of all the tight and twisty turns.

The start and brief 

    Going into the race, I felt great. I had my bike dialed, I knew my fitness was good, and felt like I had good knowledge  about the course. Everything worked out perfectly, aside from a close encounter with a non racer. The individual chose to ride the trail in opposite direction of the race course. We encountered each other on a blind corner. I was able to keep my bike upright but had to come to a stop. Other than that, I felt great for the whole race.


Race Pace! 

    Aside from crossing the finish line, I think the highlight of the race was seeing how things have really come together for me since my ankle injury. With lots of hard work and patience, I was able to land on the top step of the podium.

Throwback - Pats Peak MTB Festival Race 2015

The Pats Peak Mountain Bike Festival is a Mountain Biking race in Henniker, New Hampshire. The event is held at Pats Peak, which is an independent alpine ski resort. This place has a never-ending circuit of switch-backs and climbing, which is precisely what anyone signing up to race on a ski mountain should expect. The XC course is open for riding all season. The race lap contains 7.1 miles and 897 feet of vertical per lap. In my opinion the hardest XC course in the New England series. On this day the cross-country race track climbed high on the mountain and offered good spectating for downhillers taking the easy way up on the lift.
